Jaa:

The Gasum Gas Fund is one of the special funds administered by the Finnish Foundation for Technology Promotion (TES) through which Gasum promotes research and development in the natural energy gas sector by giving out annual grants. This year’s grants were given out at an awards and grants ceremony organized by TES at Restaurant Palace, Helsinki, on Wednesday June 6, 2016.

​The grants from the Gas Fund are given for education, research and development aiming to promote the gas ecosystem. Topics covered by the work supported include the development of renewable gas production, gas usage technologies, and sustainability and environmental impacts.

Plenty of interesting and high-quality applications were received in the call for applications conducted in the winter. The applications were assessed at the Gas Fund advisory committee's spring meeting where a decision was made to issue grants to an exceptionally large number of applicants – 16 in total. The amount of grants awarded totals €108,000 (€49,000 in 2015).
